This book positions King Creole in the disputed territories of 1950s youth culture. It is one of Elvis's best regarded films, but one of his least financially successful. It is a portrait of youthful alienation and juvenile delinquency made at a time when these topics were becoming less fashionable in teenpics.The author argues that King Creole's release during the death throes of rock and roll in America helps to position it as an outlier among youth films of the time in three distinct ways. First, the author demonstrates how the post-rock and roll release of the film allowed for a better harnessing of the star's 'Elvisness.' Second, the author conducts an extensive examination of the film's production records, which show how the film's portrait of youth alienation and delinquency pre-dated America's big screen fixation on these topics, making the film not wholly bound by concurrent youth conventions. Third, the author challenges the dominant reading of the film as being about interge

This book explores the experience of labour for ancient Greek farming communities using historical, archaeological, bioarchaeological, and ethnographic data. It offers a compelling and methodologically innovative approach using the moral economy, taskscapes, and embodiment as interpretative frames.Reconstructing the lived experience of ancient farmers, the book defines the physical, conceptual, and ideological contours of the farmer's world. It highlights the complex, embedded, and entangled nature of Greek agrarian life and draws on a wide range of interdisciplinary evidence to create a cultural history of rural labour. By moving beyond economic abstractions, the study reframes agricultural labour as a meaningful social and bodily practice, central to identity, community and survival.The book will be of particular interest to researchers and students of ancient history, archaeology, gender studies, and rural studies. It also appeals to readers interested in labour, embodiment, the mor

Theorising Interior Architecture and Design. Identity, Practices, Education, and Beyond looks at interior architecture and design from a contemporary and international perspective. The book takes theory building to be one of the most important activities for a discipline. It explores the interior discipline's theoretical dimension and its pedagogical, professional and creative practices in different settings across the globe.Organised in four thematic sections and an epilogue, twenty chapters discuss vital aspects of contemporary interior architecture and design. How has the interior discipline, which for decades has been classified as 'emerging' or 'relatively young', over the past decades 'come of age' academically, in practice, and in theory? Why is the identity of interiors a complex issue, and how does this relate to theoretical concepts like surface, interior/exterior, or time? How can we think about the different roles of creative and professional practice - or about interior ed

The Psychology of Health and Illness is a thoroughly updated version of Leslie Frazier's previous textbook on health psychology, which provides an engaging and contemporary approach to understanding health psychology from a truly international perspective.
